uv'+u'v

x.3sec^2(3x)+tan(3x)

= 3xsec^2(3x)+tan(3x)

Tan3x + 3xsec^2(3x)

Correct.

You left a 3 off at the start of your answer.

I don't think this is in 2U?

It is.. hint: you have to use log laws to change to a base of e

A ship anchored in a port has a ladder which hangs over the side. The length of the ladder is 200cm, the distance between each rung in 20cm and the bottom rung touches the water. The tide rises at a rate of 10cm an hour. When will the water reach the fifth rung?

question 2 im stuck

Hint: To find the area you integrate the function (from my understanding) so when you're integrating that function, you should end up with the area that function contains.

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

derivate of 5^x = 1/xlogx

nope thats not it

is the function pi +14/4 though, the thing we just proved?

I don't think so

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

I don't think so

im completely stuck -.-

 

[andybandy]

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

ok, 1/5^x * log5

still not it

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

You found the positive area under the curve. When you integrate, anything below the x-axis becomes negative

is it in the 10th hour? i'm so bad at visualising.

Can someone help me with this question:

Find the exact area enclosed by the curve y=sinx and the line y=1/2 for 0 < x < 2pi

Yeah, that's pretty much the answer

you must leave spaces between '<' for it to show
